DAY ONE

A Large building, the sign outside reads: “Condemned. Roper & Furly Apartment Complex. EST: 1972.” An eerie glow surrounds the building, as eight figures appear outside. The figures are revealed to be Wolverine, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Jubilee, Thor, Dr. Doom, Spider man and Mr. Fantastic.

“What the hell?!” Wolverine shouts.

Jubilee runs over to him and hugs him. “Wolvie, I’m scared....” she says.

Hulk runs over to Captain America. He hugs him, almost crushing him. “Hulk scared too....” he says.

Cap struggles to breath. “Get.....off......” he is able to mumble.

“Wha?! What is the meaning of this?! Doom was preparing to conquer the world!” Dr. Doom says.

“Oh, come now, Victor. Surely you must have realized that I would stop you. After all, I’m so much more intelligent than you.” Mr. Fantastic replies.

Doom grumbles. “Shut up, Richards.” he says. Suddenly, a flash of light, and a man appears before our heroes. He is the Beyonder.

“Welcome, earth’s mightiest heroes!” he says.

“Beyonder?! What is the meaning of this?” Richards asks.

“I Have summoned you all here as part of an experiment. You will all live in this apartment house for one month. With hilarious results, I’m sure.” Beyonder replies.

“What, like the Real World?” Cap asks.

“Yes. Exactly. As a matter of fact, we’ll be filming you. And the footage will be used as the next season of the Real World.” Beyonder replies.

“Wait, we have to live here?!” Wolverine asks.

“Yes.” Beyonder replies.

“What the hell?! The last kids got a mansion in New Orleans!!” Wolverine shouts.

“Yes, well, I’m a bit low on cash.” Beyonder says.

“But, you’re the Beyonder....” Richards says.

“I’m low on cash, Reed.” Beyonder replies, harshly. Richards backs away slowly.

“Wait, we’ll be on the Real World?! Cool!” Jubilee shouts.

“But why, Beyonder? What possible purpose could this serve?” Richards asks.

“Boredom.” Beyonder replies.

“Boredom?” Richards asks.

“Yes. Just because I’m the Beyonder doesn’t mean I don’t get bored.” Beyonder replies.

Spider man and Thor are standing in the back of the group, Spidey turns to Thor. “This won’t end well.....” he says.

“Verily. Odinson feels a foul wind coming in.....” Thor replies.


The eight people enter the apartment building. “Hmmmm....Doom calls the big room.” Doom says.

“Now, how do you figure you get the big room?” Spidey asks.

“Because. Doom said so.” Doom replies.

“One cannot mess with Doom’s logic, Spiderfriend.” Thor says.

“You’re not helping, Blonde-boy.” Spidey says.

“Now, now, Victor. There is a more diplomatic way of handling this.” Richards says.

“Oh yeah? And what might that be?” Doom asks.

“Most intelligent gets the big room. I’m clearly the smartest here, hence I get the big room.” Richards says.

“Makes sense to Hulk.” Hulk says.

“Yeah, I guess I’m okay with that.” Spidey says.

“Verily.” Thor replies.

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” Wolverine says.

“What?! How in the.....When I asked for the big room, all of you objected. But when Richards says he gets the big room, simply because he’s smarter....which he is not, by the way....you’re all fine with it!?” Doom asks, angrily.

“Yep.” Wolvie says.

“Pretty much.” Spidey says.

“Makes sense to Hulk.” Hulk says.

“Yeah, I’m okay with it.” Cap says.

“But.....But, why?!” Doom asks.

“Because, Victor. You’re the villain.” Richards says.

“What?!” Doom asks, angrily.

“Doom bad, stretchy-friend good. Stretchy-friend gets room.” Hulk says.

“Poppycock! Look, Richards. You want to settle this diplomatically? I Have a way....” Doom says.

“And how’s that, Victor?” Richards asks.

“A Game. A Game of strategy, of cunning. A Game where the challenge is immense. A Game where if set under life or death circumstances, most would parish....” Doom continues.

“And that game would be?” Richards asks.

“Rock. Paper. Scissors.” Doom replies.

Richards sighs. “Very well, Victor.” he says.

They begin to play.

“Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot!” they both shout.

Richards throws rock, Doom throws scissors. “Shit!” Doom shouts.

“Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot!” they both shout.

Richard throws scissors, Doom throws paper. “Damn!” Doom shouts.

“Rock, paper, scissors. Shoot!” they both shout.

Richards throws paper, Doom throws rock. “Bastard!” Doom shouts. “Best two out of three?” he asks.

Richards sighs. “Look, Victor. If you want it that badly, you can have the big room.” he says.

“I Will no-......I can?” Doom asks.

“Yes. You can.” Richards replies.

“Yes! Doom has won!! Doom stands victorious!!” Doom says, he proceeds to laugh maniacally all the way into the big room. “BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!” he laughs. “I Look forward to killing you all. Good day.” He says as he slams the door.

“What do you think he meant by that?” Richards asks.

“Too soon to tell. Better wait him out.” Cap replies.

Spidey sighs. “Oh yeah. I’m gonna love it here.” he says, sarcastically.

“Well, I guess that means we’re bunking together, Spidey.” Cap says.

“Lovely. You don’t snore, do you?” Spidey asks.

“Nope.” Cap replies. They walk into their room. There’s a bunk bed in the room.

“I Call the top Bunk.” Spidey says, jokingly.

“Fine with me.” Cap replies.

Later that night, Cap and Spidey are sleeping. Spidey’s slumber is disturbed by screaming.

“It’s the Germans!!” Cap shouts. He jumps out of bed, to his feet. His eyes are closed, he is asleep.

“What the hell....?” Spidey asks himself.

“Come on, boys. Let’s go, Hitler awaits!” Cap shouts, he hums the Star Spangled Banner. He marches over to the bed, and lays down. He begins to snore.

“Oh, that can’t be good......” Spidey mumbles.

Hours pass, both Spidey and Cap are fast asleep. Suddenly, Spidey is awaken. By someone kicking his back. “Ow! What the hell?!” he shouts, looking down.

Cap is laying in the bunk, with his feet pressed against the bottom of Spidey’s bunk. “Come on, Soldier! Those German bastards aren’t gonna kill themselves!” he shouts.

Spidey sighs. “Oh yeah, I’m gonna love it here....” he repeats, in the same sarcastic tone.


DAY TWO

It is early morning. Spidey helps himself to the last of the chocolate milk, as Hulk enters the kitchen. Hulk picks up the empty Ovaltine can, a grimace appears on his face. “Hulk wanted chocolate milk.” he mumbles.

“Oh. Yeah, sorry, big guy. Looks like I beat ya to it.” Spidey says.

“Give Hulk chocolate milk.” Hulk says.

“No way! Get your own.” Spidey says.

Hulk picks Spidey up by the neck. “Hulk want chocolate milk. Spidey-friend have chocolate milk. Hulk smash puny spidey-friend. Need hulk say more?” Hulk says.

“Here ya go, big guy. Have some chocolate milk.” Spidey says, while struggling to breath.

“Thank you! Hulk thought Spidey-friend never ask!” Hulk says, he picks the chocolate milk out of Spidey’s hand and drops him.

Wolverine enters the kitchen, he puts some bread in the toaster and presses the button. Minutes pass, as he realizes nothing’s happening. “Now, what the hell is this?!” he shouts.

“What is it, Wolvie?” Spidey asks.

“This damn toaster’s broken.” Wolverine replies.

“Ah. Well, step aside, shortman. Allow the Doctor to operate.” Spidey says. He opens the side of the toaster and begins fumbling with the wiring.

Meanwhile, Thor and Jubilee enter the kitchen. “What’s going on here?” Thor asks.

“I’m fixing the toaster.” Spidey replies.

“Shouldn’t you wait for Dr. Richards?” Jubilee asks.

“What, you mean Brainiac in there?” Spidey replies. Everyone gasps.

“No! We Mean Dr. Reed Richards, not Brainiac!” Jubilee says.

“Art thou insane? Doth thou want to be sued by DC?” Thor asks.

Cap runs into the room. “Did someone in here just mention a DC character?!” he asks frantically.

“Yeah, Spidey did.” Wolverine says.

Cap walks over to Spidey and smacks him in the back of the head. “Ow! What the hell was that for?!” Spidey asks.

“Don’t ever mention the characters of other companies! Ya damn fool!” Cap replies.

“Alright, alright! Jeez!” Spidey shouts. Cap, Thor and Jubilee leave the room. Spidey continues messing with the toaster. “We don’t need that brain--.....I Mean....Mr. Fantastic...to fix a toaster! Any idiot can fix one of these.” he says. Wolverine and Hulk look at each other and chuckle.

“Ah-ha! I’ve got it.” Spidey shouts.

“What you got?” Hulk asks.

“Come here, ya big lug. Take a look at this. What do you see?” Spidey asks.

Hulk looks down at the toaster. “Hulk see a toaster.” he says.

Spidey sighs. “No. Look harder. What do you see?” he asks.

Hulk looks closer. “Hulk see a broken toaster.” he says.

“No.....” Spidey starts.

“Yes. Hulk see broken toaster. Toaster not work, toaster broken.” Hulk interrupts.

Spidey sighs. “Well, yeah. You’re right, but....” he starts.

“Yay! Hulk right!! Hulk got question right!” Hulk shouts, he begins to jump up and down. Spidey slaps him, he begins to cry.

“Now stop that. I Mean the wires. Look, they’re all crossed. Except these two. The red and blue wires.” Spidey says. Hulk looks at him.

“You got it?” Spidey asks. Hulk looks at him.

“Hulk?” Spidey asks. Hulk looks at him.

“Spidey-friend hit Hulk.” Hulk says in a hurt tone.

“Oh, good lord. Alright. I’m sorry, Hulk, okay?” Spidey says.

“Spidey-friend sorry?” Hulk asks.

“Yes. Spidey-frie--...damn it...I Mean, I am sorry.” Spidey says.

“Okay. Hulk better now, Spidey-friend cool with Hulk again.” Hulk says, he hugs Spidey.

“Can’t......breath....” Spidey says.

Hulk lets go. “Hulk sorry.”

“Yeah, well....Anyway, we cross these two wires, and it should work.” Spidey says. He goes to cross the wires. “See? We cross the red with blu--” he starts, but is quickly interrupted by an electrical current flowing through his body. “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” He shouts. Hulk grabs Spidey, attempting to pull him away. But he gets shocked as well.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!” Hulk shouts. Wolverine shakes his head and unplugs the toaster.

“Any idiot, huh?” he asks. He leaves the room. A Cloud of smoke rises off of Spidey’s head.

“Hulk feel all tingly.” Hulk says.

“Shut up, Hulk.” Spidey says, he coughs.

Meanwhile, in Doom’s room. Doom sniffs the air, “What smells like burnt Lycra?” he asks himself. He shrugs and continues what he’s doing.


DAY THREE

Early afternoon, Doom comes out of his room. He is very clearly angry. “All right, everyone. House meeting. Come on, everyone together. House meeting!” he shouts.

Everyone gathers in the living room. “What is it, Victor?” Richards asks.

“Doom has a question for you all....” Doom begins. Everyone looks at him. “Who....has been using.....DOOM’S TOOTHBRUSH?!” he shouts, angrily. He holds up a toothbrush.

“Hulk no use Doom’s toothbrush. Doom’s toothbrush full of bacteria.” Hulk says.

“What? It is not!” Doom shouts.

“Yes. Doom has bad breath.” Hulk says.

“What?! I Do not!” Doom shouts.

“Actually, ya kinda do, bub.” Wolverine says. Doom looks at him, shocked.

“Verily. Like cabbage and broccoli.” Thor adds. Doom flashes him a nasty look.

“Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. I Mean, what the hell, Doom. What, do you eat raw garlic when no one’s looking or something?” Spidey adds, Doom gasps. “Because, I gotta tell ya. You’re breath is.....whoof. Man, no words can describe it.” Spidey finishes.

Doom growls in frustration and storms into his room, slamming the door behind him.

Later in the afternoon, Spidey and Hulk are sitting on the couch. The Simpsons comes on the t.v. Hulk begins laughing hysterically.

Spidey looks at him in confusion. “Nothing funny’s even happened yet. What are you laughing at?” he asks.

“Yellow man funny! Yellow man make Hulk laugh!” Hulk says, then continues to laugh hysterically.

Spidey looks at Hulk and looks at the screen. “Oy.” he says. He changes the channel, it’s the news with Tom Brokaw. Hulk laughs hysterically again.

“Now what are you laughing at?!” Spidey asks.

“Man with fake hair make Hulk laugh!” Hulk says before laughing hysterically again. Spidey rubs his temples.

Cap walks into the room. “What’s so funny?” he asks.

“’Man with fake hair make Hulk laugh.’” Spidey says with a sigh. Cap looks at the screen. And gives a chuckle.

“You’ve got to admit, Spidey. He does have a certain funny look about him.” he says. Spidey lets out a small whimper.


DAY FOUR

“When do Hulk get to vote people off island?” Hulk asks.

Spidey sighs. “Wrong show, Hulk.” he says.

“Ooh! I loved that show. I Can’t believe that naked bastard won it, though” Cap says. Spidey looks at him.

“Naked bastard?!” Hulk asks then proceeds to laugh hysterically. Spidey allows his head to fall on the table.

“Hey, Hulk....” he says.

Hulk stops laughing. “What spidey-friend want?” he asks.

“Why don’t you go and listen to some CDs?” Spidey asks with just the right touch of mock enthusiasm.

Hulks eyes widen, a huge grin appears on his lips. And jumps up and runs out of the room screaming: “CD’S CD’s CD’s CD’s!”

Spidey sighs a sigh of relief.

A Few minutes pass, Wolverine enters the kitchen. “Uh, is Hulk alright?” he asks.

“No. But he never was all there, so....” Spidey says.

“No. I Mean.....well....come here and look.” Wolverine says as he motions for them to follow him. Spiderman and Cap follow him into the living room, what they find there shocks and confuses them.

In the middle of the room, Hulk is wearing a pair of headphones hooked up to a portable CD player, he is dancing. “Oops...Hulk Did it again!” he sings.

“Good Lord......” Cap utters.

Spidey is rubbing his eyes through his costume. “My God, that image won’t come out! Everytime I close my eyes, I’ll see that!” he shouts, as he rubs furiously. He whimpers quietly.

Thor enters the room. “By Odin’s Beard, what the hell is he doing?!” he shouts.

“I Believe that’s the Funky Chicken....” Wolverine says. Spidey continues rubbing his eyes.

He walks over to Hulk. “Hulk! Hulk!” he shouts.

Hulk stops dancing, he takes off his headphones. “What spidey-friend want?” he asks, short of breath.

“Change the CD.” Spidey replies.

“But, Hulk like Britney Spears....” Hulk begins.

“Hulk.....Change...the...CD.....” Spidey replies.

Hulk looks at Spidey. “Ok, Spidey-friend. Hulk change CDs.” he says.

“Thank you, Hulk.” Spidey says, he walks away.

Hulk takes out the Britney Spears CD and replaces it. He begins dancing again, everyone turns and watches him. “nananana....Bye bye bye!” Hulk sings, before laughing hysterically and mumbling something about Justin Timberlake being ‘Dreamy’.

“Goodness. That appears to be even worse, wouldn’t you agree Spidey?” Cap asks.

“Spidey?” He asks, he turns to see Spidey passed out on the floor.

Doom comes out of his room. “What the hell is going on out here.....” He stops when he sees Hulk dancing. “Oh God! Doom has been blinded!!” He shouts, he turns and runs into his room with his head in his hands.
